With over a decade of experience, Melanie's expertise in massage therapy caters to a diverse clientele, including athletes, office workers, manual laborers, individuals with auto-immune disorders, hospice patients, and those dealing with TMJD, migraines, and concussions. A graduate of the Cortiva Institute in Watertown (2012), she continues her studies in Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute and the Lyons Institute. Additionally, Melanie has trained in Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Thai Foot Reflexology, and has completed several yoga teacher trainings. She consistently invests in continuing education to better serve her clients.

Melanie offers Restorative Massage, a culmination of her extensive training in massage, Craniosacral therapy, and yoga. Her core belief is that massage should not be painful, and the most profound and effective massages stem from the nervous system's ability to release tension through trust and relaxation.
